Surfer Little Todd





This is my first blog since the birth of my youngest grandson born in November 2010. I seem to have spent alot of my spare time knitting for him as he was a small baby and needed to be kept warm, it was also one of the coldest winters we have had for years. Thankfully he is now better able to maintain his body heat and also the weather has warmed up,so I have put my knitting needles away.
I really like the way this card has turned out, it's one that will suit quite a few members of my family. The card looks a bit pink in the photo but it is a shade of orange.

The digital image is a freebie from

Ribbon from Anitas (sticky back)
